Quote from: WeeDonns on March 06, 2024, 01:03:00 PMIt has probably been answered on here before – but what was the reasoning that it couldn't go ahead in 3 separate sections?

I doubt if it could be properly answered, there was never any need to do it all in one go. Roads all over the country were improved in sections.
The problem was that the Irish government promised money and then got hit by the crash . The North doesn't have the budget for this project. Things then got held up in the courts. Then Stormont collapsed. You couldn't make it up. And people are still dying

There has been a concentrated effort by one section of the community to make sure this road is never built.

Fenian road in Orange land. That's how they see it.

Awful. There is blood on the hands of a lot of people for not having this built. RIP, another family hit by tragedy.

I just find that completely mental. Surely compulsory purchase orders can be used in this scenario. This is what your land is worth. End of conversation!

Well compulsory orders will be used. But the AA5A just cannot delay and bog it down in legal challenges ad infinitum.

I hadn't meant to come across as insensitive. Our own family have been directly impacted by A5 and I apologise how it came across, I'll delete original post.

Ah no need to apologize I meant in general when these things happen. Sorry for your loss
